1.2 Information on Laser Safety
1.2.1 Safety Information
The light source of the instrument is a helium neon laser. It is important to
understand that laser light has different properties from ordinary light sources.
Laser light is generally extremely intense due to the beam's low divergence.
When handling lasers, great care should be taken in any case to make sure
that the direct or reflected beam does not enter the eye.
The protective measures taken described in the following support compliance
with the safety standards for laser class 2:
Polytec instruments generally comply with the standards IEC and EN
60825-1, and US 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 respectively except for
deviations pursuant to Laser Notice no. 50, dated 26 July 2001.
The optical output power of the laser beam emitted from the sensor is less
than 1mW provided the equipment is used in the manner for which it was
intended. This means that the instrument conforms with laser class 2 and
is generally very safe. It is thereby usually assumed that eyes are
protected by prevention mechanisms including the blink reflex. This
reaction offers appropriate protection under reasonably foreseeable
operating conditions. This includes the use of optical instruments for
observing the laser beam. Even when optimally focused, the laser beam
is not intense enough to harm the skin.
The sensor is equipped with a beam shutter to block the laser beam
during the warm-up phase, or when the vibrometer is not in use, although
switched on.
An emission indicator on the laser unit indicates the activity of the
installed laser and thus the potential hazard of laser beams emitted.
The laser is switched on using the key switch or mains switch on the
controller. The key can only be removed if the controller and therefore
also the laser is switched off.
The user should not attempt to open the housing of the instrument which
contains the laser unit as he could be exposed to a higher level of laser
energy that is potentially hazardous.
NOTE!
Please see CHAPTER 7 for the detailed technical specifications!
WARNING!
Danger from uncontrolled light emission! - Use of controls or adjustments
or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.

1 Safety Information
1.2.2 Safety Precautions
Pay attention to the following safety precautions when using the instrument:
Only qualified and fully trained persons should be entrusted with setting
up the instrument, adjusting and operating it !
Avoid looking directly into the laser beam with the naked eye or with the
aid of mirrors or optical instruments! It can be dangerous to look directly
into the laser beam for any length of time.
Never intentionally direct the laser beam at anyone!
Only open the beam shutter when making measurements!
To position the sensor, always close the beam shutter. The beam shutter
should not be opened until the sensor has been roughly aligned and
mounted securely!
The laser beam should be terminated at the end of its intended path
where this is practically possible.
Instruments which are not in use should be stored in places which
unauthorized persons do not have access to.
1.2.3 Laser Warning Labels

1.3.2 Safety Precautions
Pay attention to the following safety precautions when using the instrument:
The controller is only to be connected up using a three-pin mains cable to
AC systems 50/ 60Hz with a grounded protective conductor with a
nominal voltage of between 100V and 240V.
Defective mains fuses in the controller may only be replaced by fuses of
the same kind with the rating given on the back of the instrument.
If the mains switch or key switch on the controller is not freely accessible,
use the mains plug to disconnect the device in case of danger. This
means that the mains plug needs to be freely accessible. Otherwise an
additional disconnection device must be installed.
The housing may not be opened when using the instrument as intended.
Opening the housing will invalidate the warranty. None of the equipment
may be operated with opened housing.
Air inlets and outlets must always be kept free to ensure sufficient cooling.
If you notice that the cooling fan in the controller is not working,
immediately switch the instrument off.
NOTE!
Before removing parts of the housing for servicing purposes for installation
and servicing purposes, as a general rule the mains plug should always be
unplugged.
WARNING!
Danger from electrical current ! - Intervention for maintenance and repair
work may only be carried out by the manufacturer himself or by qualified
personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Danger from heat accumulation! - If you mount the controller into a
switching cabinet, pay attention that the air inlets in the bottom plate must
always be kept free!

2 Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 Area of Application
The fiber-coupled sensor head OFV-534 is suitable for a wide range of stand-
off distances. Even almost inaccessible measurement points can be reached
by using the flexible and slim optical fiber cable. An integrated video camera
can optionally be used for online monitoring of the measurement volume. In
addition, a microscope lens can be fitted directly onto the sensor head which
makes it possible to measure vibration on microstructures.
You can use the sensor head with all following vibrometer controllers:
OFV-5000 (as of firmware version 2.03)
OFV-2500 (as of firmware version 1.4)
OFV-2570 (as of firmware version 1.1)
VDD-E-600 (as of firmware version 1.2)
2.2 Operating Principle
The laser vibrometer uses the principle of the heterodyne interferometer to
acquire the characteristics of mechanical vibrations or transient motion
processes. With this type of interferometer, a high-frequency carrier signal is
generated on the photo detector with the aid of a Bragg cell. To make the
vibration measurement, the beam of a helium neon laser is pointed at the
vibrating object and scattered back from it. Velocity and displacement
amplitude of a vibrating object respectively generate a frequency or phase
modulation of the laser light due to the Doppler effect. This modulation is
recovered in the signal processing unit with the aid of suitable demodulators
(or decoders).
NOTE!
You can use the sensor head also with other controllers (center frequency
40MHz), e.g. OFV-2510 or OFV-2502, however with the limitation, that the
signal level display on the sensor head does not work.
2-2
2 Introduction
The velocity information is recovered from the frequency modulation of the
Doppler signal, while the displacement signal can be reconstructed from the
phase modulation available at the same time. A schematic layout of both
signal paths is shown as a diagram in FIGURE 2.1.

3 First Steps
3 First Steps
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Unpacking The fiber-coupled vibrometer sensor head is made up of the following
components:
Standard sensor (or sensor with telephoto lens) with laser unit
Connecting cable from the controller to the laser unit (length 5m)
Optional:
Video camera (built-in the sensor) with video cable
Microscope lenses
Inspection Please pay attention to the following steps when unpacking:
1. Check the packaging for signs of unsuitable handling during transport.
2. After unpacking, check the sensor head for external damage (scratches,
loose screws, damaged lenses etc.).
3. In the case of a wrong delivery, damage or missing parts, please inform
your local Polytec representative immediately and give them the serial
number of the sensor head. The identification label can be found on the
back of the laser unit and also on the inside cover of this manual.
4. Carefully retain the original packaging in case you have to return the
instrument.
NOTE!
You receive a standard sensor or optional a sensor with telephoto lens. It is
not necessary to open the housing of the sensor when using the equipment as
intended and will invalidate the warranty. Exchanging objectives may only be
carried out by authorized service personnel of Polytec.
CAUTION!
Danger from hard jolting! - Protect the unpacked sensor head from being
shaken as this can lead to the interferometer becoming misaligned!
CAUTION!
Danger from scratching! - Handle the front lens with great care! Dirt may
only be removed carefully using a soft, dry cloth, an optics brush and bellows!
3-2
3 First Steps
Install the vibrometer and carry out a first functional test as described in the
controller manual.
3.2 Operating and Maintenance Requirements
Ambient
conditions
The vibrometer can be operated in dry rooms under normal climatic
conditions (refer to the specifications in CHAPTER 7). In particular the optical
components in the sensor head are sensitive towards moisture, high
temperatures, shocks and dirt.
If the vibrometer is taken into operation after being stored in a cold
environment, a sufficient acclimatization period should be allowed before
switching it on. Avoid condensation on the optical components caused by a
rapid change in temperature.
Assembly The sensor should not be set up provisionally, but mounted with the fixing
screw thread on an optional adapter plate or a stable tripod. The laser unit
can be mounted on an optional adapter plate.
Cooling It is very important to ensure that there is sufficient air circulation to cool the
sensor.
Connecting
cable
As a general rule, the vibrometer may not be switched on until all connecting
cables have been connected up. Make sure that all connectors are connected
properly and firmly.
Warming-up The helium neon laser in the sensor will take a little while to reach the optimal
operating temperature after it has been switched on. The vibrometer therefore
reaches its optimal properties after a warm-up period of approx. 20 minutes.
After that you can be sure that all components are working properly in
accordance with the specifications. Less accurate measurements, such as to
align the vibrometer for example, can however be carried out with usefully
results before this warm-up period has expired.
NOTE!
You can use the sensor head only with certain vibrometer controllers (refer to
SECTION 2.1).
NOTE!
Before you mount the laser unit on an optional adapter plate, remove the
rubber feet at the bottom side!
CAUTION!
Danger from mishandling! - Protect all connecting cables from mechanical
damage and from high temperatures. - The bending radius of the fiber-optic
connecting cable should not fall below 54mm.
3-3
3 First Steps
Cleaning The housing surface of the sensor head can be cleaned with mild detergent or
disinfectant solutions. Organic solvents must not be used.
Optical
components
Handle all optical components with great care. Dirt may only be removed
carefully using a soft, dry cloth, an optics brush and bellows!
Opening the
instruments
Opening up of the equipment without authorization is not necessary for its
operation and will invalidate the warranty.

4 Setting up the Optimal Stand-off Distance
4 Setting up the Optimal Stand-off Distance
4.1 Coherency between Stand-off Distance and Visibility Maximum
Visibility
maxima
The light source of the vibrometer is a helium neon laser. This is a multimode
laser in which, depending on the laser cavity length, one or a maximum of two
modes can exist. The laser cavity length can vary caused by small changes in
temperature. Thus the laser changes between the status of having one or two
modes. If two modes exist, interference effects cause the intensity of the
resulting optical signal varying periodically with the stand-off distance.
The diagram in FIGURE 4.1 shows the signal level depending on the stand-off
distance. In the special case of having two modes with equal magnitude
(black line), you have the strongest loss of signal level if the object is located
inside a visibility minimum. But generally there are two modes of different
magnitudes. In this case the signal level is hardly fluctuating (grey line). If
only one mode exists, the signal level is always maximum, independent from
the stand-off distance (dashed grey line).
The stand-off distances at which the signal level is maximal are called
visibility maxima. The visibility maxima recur every 204mm (1mm)
corresponding to the laser cavity length.
Generally it is not necessary to search for the visibility maximum as the
vibrometer is sensitive enough to make a measurement even close to the
minimum. A visibility minimum is indicated during the warm-up phase by
periodic fluctuation of the optical signal level. If you need an optimal
resolution and sensitivity, you should select a stand-off distance close to the
visibility maximum. As a rule of thumb it can be said, that the resolution and
the sensitivity just degrades insignificantly in the range of 90mm around the
visibility maximum.

5 Operating the Sensor Head
5 Operating the Sensor Head
5.1 Switching On and Off
You switch the vibrometer and thus also the laser on by pressing the key
switch on the front panel of the controller to position I and respectively the
mains switch on the back panel of the controller to position I.
On the front of the controller a LED or display lights up and shows that the
controller is ready to operate. If the connecting cable from the controller to the
sensor is installed correctly, also the LED STANDBY at the front panel of the
laser unit lights up and shows that the sensor is ready and the laser is active,
even if the beam shutter is closed (refer to SECTION 5.2).
5.2 Blocking the Laser Beam
The sensor is equipped with a beam shutter. This can be used to block the
laser beam without switching off the laser. This keeps the system in a thermal
equilibrium.
The key for the beam shutter is on the front of the laser unit and is labeled
LASER. After switching the controller on, the beam shutter is automatically
closed. You open the beam shutter by pressing the LASER key. You close the
beam shutter again by pressing the LASER key a second time.
5.3 Indicating Laser Activity
On the front panel of the laser unit you will find the LEDs STANDBY and
EMISSION, which show whether the laser is active. The LED STANDBY lights
up, if the laser is switched on (mains switch on the back of the laser unit in
position I) and the beam shutter is closed. The LED shows that the laser is
working but no laser beam is emitted. The LED EMISSION lights up as soon
as the beam shutter is opened (LASER key is pressed) and shows that the
laser beam is emitted.
NOTE!
Remember, that the vibrometer reaches its optimal properties after a warm-up
period of the laser of approx. 20 minutes.
WARNING!
Danger from laser light ! - Only open the beam shutter when you are making
measurements!
WARNING!
Danger from laser light ! - To position the sensor, always close the beam
shutter. Only open the beam shutter once the sensor has been roughly
aligned and mounted securely, if applicable on an adapter plate!
5-2
5 Operating the Sensor Head
5.4 Focusing the Laser Beam (only Standard Sensor)
To get the highest possible quality of the measurement signal, the laser beam
has to be optimally focused. The laser beam is optimally focused when the
diameter of the laser spot on the object is as small as possible. Due to
overload effects on the target area, it is often difficult to ascertain when the
smallest diameter has been reached. For this reason you can view the signal
level display either on the sensor. The more signal level is shown, the better
the focus of the laser beam.
As the actual aim of focusing is to minimize the undesired noise signals, you
can also orientate yourself directly towards the output signal from the
controller when focusing. Observe the output signal e.g. on an oscilloscope
while focusing the laser beam on the object under investigation. The better
the focus of the laser beam, the smaller the amplitude of the noise. See the
user manual of the controller on this.
You can focus the laser beam, by rotating the focusing ring at the sensor.
When you are looking into the direction of the emitted laser beam, the
following applies:
5.5 Locking the Focus Position (only Standard Sensor)
The laser beam can at any time be focused manually directly using the
focusing ring on the sensor. The focus position can be locked at the sensor.
This stops you unintentionally defocusing the laser beam.
To lock the focusing position, hand-tighten the clamping screw on the sensor
clockwise (refer to FIGURE 3.3).
WARNING!
Danger from laser light ! - Avoid looking directly into the laser beam with the
naked eye or with the aid of mirrors or optical instruments!
To focus on infinity: Turn clockwise (to the right)
To focus close-up: Turn counterclockwise (to the left)
NOTE!
Hand-tight means: Tighten the screw firmly that it can not loosen itself. Do not
use any excessive force and avoid serious damage the thread.

5.6 Using the Signal Level Display
The signal level display helps you to optimize the focus of the laser beam.
The signal level is shown as a bar display on the sensor.
5.7 Using a Microscope Lens (only Standard Sensor)
By using different microscope lenses for the sensor the vibrometer can be
optimally adapted to different areas of stand-off distances and different
requirements to the depth of field for vibration measurements on
microstructures.
Suitable
objectives
You can use following microscope lenses:
10x microscope lens VIB-A-10xLENS (working distance 37.3mm)
20x microscope lens VIB-A-20xLENS (working distance 21.7mm)
Mount the
objective
To mount the microscope lens, proceed as follows:
1. When you look into the direction of the emitted laser beam, turn the
focusing ring on the sensor clockwise until the laser beam is collimate.
Alternative you can also focus an far off object sharply with the objective
when you watch the camera image.
2. Tighten the clamping screw on the sensor hand-tight.
3. Carefully screw the microscope lens on the focusing ring.
5.8 Transfer the Video Signal (optional)
If the sensor is equipped with the optional video camera, you can add a video
cable at the back panel of the laser unit to transfer the video signal to a
monitor or a computer (VIDEO IN).
NOTE!
Hand-tight means: Tighten the screw firmly that it can not loosen itself. Do not
use any excessive force and avoid serious damage of thread.
NOTE!
Make sure, that the focusing ring on the sensor does not move during assem-
bly, because otherwise the focus position will be changed.

6 Fault Diagnosis
6 Fault Diagnosis
Simple tests are described in the following for you to carry out yourself in the
case of malfunction. In the case of more difficult problems with the individual
functions, please contact our service personnel. The tests described here are
not meant to lead you to carry out maintenance work yourself, but to provide
our service personnel with information which is as accurate as possible.
Checking the vibrometer is limited to such tests in which the housing does not
have to be opened. Opening the housing without authorization will invalidate
the warranty.
If required, please contact our service department. Based on your fault
description, further procedure will be determined.
If the vibrometer has to be sent back for repair, always use the original
packaging and enclose an exact description of the fault.
Please use the corresponding checklist in the user manual of your
controller if you contact Polytec or your nearest representative.
6.1 No Laser Beam
If no laser beam is emitted, please check the following:
1. Has the connecting cable between the controller and the sensor head
been installed correctly?
2. Have the plugs on the connecting cable been screwed in?
3. Does the LED STANDBY on the front of the laser unit light up after the
controller has been switched on?
If the LED is not lit up, it can be assumed that there is a fault in the mains
supply of the controller. Disconnect the mains plug and check the fuses
on the back of the controller. Please note that there are two active fuses
which can both lead to failure.
WARNING!
Danger from electrical current ! - Working on an open housing can lead to
personal injury!
NOTE!
Before checking the fuses, as a general rule the mains plug must be
disconnected!
6-2
6 Fault Diagnosis
4. Has the beam shutter key LASER on the front of the laser unit been
pressed once after switching the controller on?
The LED EMISSION lights up if the beam shutter key LASER has been
pressed once, thus emitting the laser beam. At the same time the LED
STANDBY goes off. If the beam shutter key LASER is pressed a second
time, the beam shutter is closed, at the same time the LED EMISSION
goes off and the LED STANDBY then lights up again.
5. Can you assume a break in the fiber-optic connecting cable?
If so, contact the next representative of Polytec.
6.2 No Measurement Signal
If the laser beam is emitted but there is no measurement signal, please check
the following:
1. Put reflective film in the beam path according to the information on optimal
stand-off distances given in CHAPTER 4.
2. Focus the laser beam on the reflective film. Does the signal level display
light up?
If the signal level display does not light up, then the input section of the
controller is faulty or the controller is unsuitable for the sensor head
(refer to SECTION 2.1).
If the malfunction can not be sorted through the tests described above, then
proceed with the fault diagnosis as described in the user manual of your
controller.

A Basics of the Measurement Procedure
Appendix A: Basics of the Measurement Procedure
A.1 Theory of Interferometric Velocity and Displacement Acquisition
Optical interference can be observed when two coherent light beams are
made to coincide. The resulting intensity e.g. on a photo detector varies with
the phase difference between the two beams according to the equation
. Equation A.1
The phase difference is a function of the optical path difference L between
the two beams according to
, Equation A.2
whereby is the laser wavelength.
If one of the two beams is scattered back from a moving object (the object
beam), the path difference becomes a function of time L = L (t). The
interference fringe pattern moves on the detector and the displacement of the
object can be determined using directionally sensitive counting of the passing
fringe pattern.
The velocity component in the direction of the object beam is a function of the
path difference L according to
. Equation A.3
For a constant movement v
Equation A.4
applies with
. Equation A.5
Thus a constant movement of the object causes a frequency shift at the object
beam which is called Doppler shift f
D
. Superimposing object beam and
internal reference beam, i.e. two electromagnetic waves with slightly different
frequencies, generates a beat frequency at the detector which is equal to the
Doppler shift. The ratio A.5 to determine the velocity is, however, independent
of its sign. The direction of the velocity can be determined by introducing an
additional fixed frequency shift f
B
in the interferometer to which the Doppler
shift is added with the correct sign.

A Basics of the Measurement Procedure
Thus the resulting frequency at the detector f

is given by
. Equation A.6
Interferometers of this type which are directionally sensitive are described as
heterodyne.
A.2 Optical Configuration in the Sensor Head
In Polytec's vibrometers, velocity and displacement acquisition are carried out
using a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
The optical configuration in the sensor head OFV-534 is shown schematically
in FIGURE A.1.
The light source is a helium neon laser which provides a linear polarized
beam. The beam splitter BS1 splits the beam into the object beam and the
reference beam.
The object beam passes through the polarizing beam splitter BS2 as well as a
/4 plate, is then focused by the lens on the object and scattered back from
there. The polarizing beam splitter BS2 then functions as an optical
directional coupler together with the /4 plate, and deflects the object beam to
the beam splitter BS3. The interference signal occur out of the optical path
difference between reference and laser beam. The distance to the object goes
into the optical path difference with a factor of 2. The objective displays the
object at the camera. If the spot diameter on the object is minimal, the video
image is sharply focused.
The Bragg cell in the reference arm of the interferometer generates the
additional frequency offset to determine the sign of the velocity.
The resulting interference signal of the object beam and reference beam is
converted into an electrical signal in the photo detector and subsequently
decoded in the controller.
